Black man, be no slave to their perceptions.
Thought: Black people have to do so much just to prove that we're human. Black man, don't live to prove them wrong. Live for you. Black man, be no slave to their perceptions, they've made up their minds about you. It is fine. Since when does the colour of my skin determine the contents in my brain, the way I speak and what my food preference is? Don't compartilise me because I have melanin and more pigmentation. How the world became so divided because of genetics, baffles me. My phenotype suddenly determines my every aspect? Do not quantise me! I'm an analogue being - & so is every person in the world. My skin and my hair is the fabric I chose to wear this lifetime. Let me wear it with peace,& without judgement.
